If you have a small child in your life, "Letters from Heaven" is a wonderful new tradition you can start for your family that will last for many generations.
如果你家的孩子现在还很小，那么不妨试试一个名叫“天堂的来信”的新创意，而且还能代代相传。
Susie shared the idea on her Facebook page, including two videos of her 18-year-old daughter, Abby, opening the time capsule for the first time.
Susie在她的脸书上分享了这个创意，并且附有两段视频，内容是她18岁的女儿第一次打开时间胶囊。
"This week Abby turned 18. For her 1st birthday we asked all our loved ones to write her a letter to be put in a time capsule that would be opened 17 years later. It is the most precious gift we could have ever given to her. Among the 25 letters are 7 letters from people who have passed on. These include letters from her Grandfather Doug, her uncle John Aldershof, great grandparents and more."
“这个星期Abby就要18岁了，从她一岁开始我们就请所有的亲友给她写一封信，然后放在时间胶囊里面，等到17年以后再打开，这是我们能给她的最珍贵的礼物了，在25封信中有7封信的写信人已经离世，包括她的祖父Doug,她的叔叔John,她的曾祖父母等等”
"We cried and laughed all night. Such a blessing to have birthday wishes from everyone. The time capsule was full of great things for her. If you have a small child in your life, please share this idea. It was incredible."
“整晚我们又哭又笑，在她的生日上收到了每个人的祝福，这个时间胶囊承载的满满的幸福，如果你有小宝宝，不放可以采纳，它将会带来意想不到的美好。”
A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call asap, changed his clothes & went directly to the surgery block. He found the boy's father pacing in the hall waiting for the doctor. On seeing him, the dad yelled:
在接到一通紧急手术的电话以后，一名医生急匆匆地走进医院。他一听到电话马上就接了，换了衣服，径直走到手术区域。他看见患者的父亲在走廊焦急地来回踱步等待着医生，一看见医生便咆哮道：
"Why did you take all this time to come? Don't you know that my son's life is in danger? Don't you have any sense of responsibility?"
你怎么这么久才来?知不知道我的儿子危在旦夕?你还有没有点责任心?
The doctor smiled & said:
医生面带微笑说道：
"I am sorry, I wasn't in the hospital & I came as fast as I could after receiving the call...... And now, I wish you'd calm down so that I can do my work"
“我很抱歉当时我不在医院，接到电话以后我也尽可能快的赶来了，现在你需要冷静，我要开始我的工作了。
"Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now, would you calm down? If your own son dies now what will you do??" said the father angrily
冷静?!如果现在手术室里面的是你的儿子，你会冷静么?如果你自己的儿子要死了，你会怎么做呢?这位父亲生气的说道。
The doctor smiled again & replied: "I will say what Job said in the Holy Book "From dust we came & to dust we return, blessed be the name of God". Doctors cannot prolong lives.
医生依然面带微笑回答道：我会说，约伯在《圣经》里曾说，承蒙上天关爱，我们源于尘土也终将归于尘土。
The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy,"Thank goodness!, your son is saved!" And without waiting for the father's reply he carried on his way running. "If you have any question, ask the nurse!!"
手术进行了几个小时，之后医生高兴地从里面走出来。“感谢上帝，你的儿子得救了!“还没有等父亲回答，他就一路小跑走了“如果你有任何问题，问护士吧。”
"Why is he so arrogant? He couldn't wait some minutes so that I ask about my son's state" Commented the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.
几分钟后父亲看到护士抱怨道，“他为什么如此傲慢，也不等个几分钟让我问问儿子的情况”
The nurse answered, tears coming down her face: "His son died yesterday in a road accident, he was in the burial when we called him for your son's surgery. And now that he saved your son's life, he left running to finish his son's burial."
“他的儿子昨天出交通事故去世了，我们打电话让他手术的时候他正好在善后，现在他救好了你儿子就要赶回去参加葬礼。”说着护士留下了眼泪。
Moral - Never judge anyone..... because you never know how their life is and what they're going through"
这个故事告诉我们：不要轻易评价一个人，因为你了解他们的人生也不知道他们此刻正在经历什么。
Life is full of miracles. They surround us every day. One of these miracles happened to me recently. I was filling my car’s tank at a local gas station. It was only 10 A.M. but I already felt tired. It was a cloudy, gloomy and rainy day and I hadn’t slept well the night before. After I paid for the gas I turned my car towards the main road. I looked right and left then my brain sent the signal for my foot to push on the gas pedal but nothing happened. Shocked, I shook my head to clear it and gazed down at my foot.
生活充满了奇迹，而且每天就在我们身边上演。最近我也碰到的一桩不可思议的事情。当时我正在当地的一家加油站加油，虽说只有上午十点，但我却感觉相当疲惫。那天天气多云阴沉看着要下雨，之前晚上我也没有睡好。付过油钱以后我就准备开车上主路，我左右看看，然后大脑发出信号让脚踩油门，但是什么都没有发生。一阵惶恐，我摇摇头试图清醒，然后低下头看我的脚。
Just as I did, though, a semi-truck roared past my car doing 60 mph. My weary, bleary eyes hadn’t seen it when I had looked just 2 seconds earlier. If I had been pulling out when I should have been my little green car would have been smashed and I would have most likely been killed. I sat there for a long time quietly thanking God for sparing my life before pulling out on the road and heading home. This time both my brain and foot worked perfectly.
就在这时一辆半挂汽车以每小时60英里的速度从我车旁边呼啸而过。两秒前，我还用疲惫的双眼，视线模糊的看了，并没有发现这一情况。但凡当时我的车驶出一点，那现在我的绿色小车肯定被撞了个稀巴烂，我也已经很可能一命呜呼了。我在车里静坐良久，感谢上帝躲过一劫，之后再开车回家，这次我的脑子和脚配合默契。
As I looked back on that moment later I still couldn’t understand it. Did God prevent my brain’s signal from reaching my foot? Did an angel grab my toes to keep them from pressing on the gas? One question kept coming back into my mind as well: why? Why did I get this miracle? Why did God spare my life this day? Finally, I felt the answer forming deep within my heart and mind. I heard the words coming from my soul saying: “You still have more to do. Your work is not done yet!”
之后回忆起那一刻，我还是很费解，难道是上帝阻止了我脑子发给脚的信号?还是有天使拉住了我的脚不让踩油门?还有一个问题在我的脑海中久久萦绕，为什么?是我碰上这样的奇迹。最后答案从我的心理和脑中浮现。我仿佛听到自己的灵魂在说，你还有事情要做，你还有许多事情没有完成。
Richard Bach wrote: “Here is the test to find if your mission on Earth is finished: if you are alive it isn’t.” Wake up each day then knowing that your mission isn’t done yet. You have more love to share, more people to help, more kindness to give. You have one more day to be the miracle God meant for you to be.
理查德巴赫(飞行员，美国著名作家，行吟诗人《海鸥乔纳森》《双翼飞机》《世界上从未有过的地方》《心念的奇迹》等享誉世界的杰作。字里行间常常深刻寄予个人心性，作品以坚定的力量和深邃的隐喻令全球读者心驰神往，被誉为“来自天上的使者”。)曾写过：有个方法可以检验你在世上的任务有没有完成，只要你还活着，那就说明还没有。你要更博爱、施助、仁慈，不久的将来你也会成为奇迹，这些都是上天的美意。

随着我国经济建设和社会的发展,社会用人单位对毕业生(尤其是研究生这样的高层次人才)的英语口语水平提出了更高的要求。我精心收集了两分钟英语演讲小短文，供大家欣赏学习!
Me:
The clock is ticking and tomorrow is my special day.
时钟滴滴答答的走着，明天对我来说意义非凡。
I wonder what people will say.

Ha-ha as if they all remember my natal day.

Mther:
Oh! One thing I realize as I get little older is that we should value our lives and spend it meaningfully.
当大一点的时候，我开始意识到，我们应该珍惜当下生活，让它变得有意义。
Dream big and set plans.
放胆做梦，并为此指定计划。
I thank God for helping me to achieve my goal each year.
感谢上帝，让我每年的目标都得以实现。
Although not everything is perfect, but somewhat closer to that. I surpassed my 2016 with a #goalmet and proudly to say that building my own family is a gift.
虽不是所有的目标都实现得非常完美，但是多少都在朝着目标迈进。2016年的目标我都已经达成，而且还为家庭建设孕育了一个礼物为此我很傲娇。

。丈夫和我都在等待我们的结晶，我们都梦寐以求的爱的结晶.这份特别的礼物我们都会永远珍惜。我们会给这个宝贝取名叫Z。
I'm just sitting here in my room today, listening to music while it rains outside my window, and I can't stop thinking about how happy I am and how great my life is. There's nothing particularly special about it - I'm not rich or famous, I'm not exceptionally talented, and I don't do anything particularly fabulous for a living. But I feel somewhat organized, I have a clean room and a car and a job, and most of all what makes it great is the mere fact that I feel happy.
今天我坐在自己的房间里，听着音乐，窗外下着雨，我不由得感到自己是多么愉快、生活是多么美妙。尽管我不是什么大富大贵，社会名流，也没有智力超群，或是做什么伟大的事情来营生。但是我感觉一切井井有条，我有一个干净的房间、一辆车以及一份工作。但是最重要的是，我单纯觉得快乐。
I know this may not seem like the most interesting story in the world, but when I was twelve, I was deeply suicidal.
我知道这看起来不像是什么世间的奇闻异事，但是在我12岁的时候，我非常想自杀。
I'm sharing my good mood today because I know there are tons of people out there who struggle with life.
今天我和大家分享这种岁月静好的心情，是因为我知道还有很多人都遭受生活的苦楚和折磨。
Not even necessarily the outward details of their lives, but the inner demons that exist within their minds.
不仅仅有生活中的外在琐事给他们添堵，还有内心的怪兽在作祟。
I want you to know - if that's you - that the mere possibility of reaching a place of inner peace is worth it. It is worth hanging on for.
我想让你们知道的是，很少有人能真正达到内心平和，但是这种为达到这种状态值得坚持磨炼。
I was probably 25 when happiness and contentment became my default emotions. It took a long time, and it took a lot of change, pain and growth. But now that I'm here, it feels permanent. And the emotions of the past feel like they happened to someone else. They are so foreign and distant to me. For some, it may take even longer, and it may take even more. But I cannot imagine even for a second that the struggle wouldn't be worth it if this is the end result.
我可能直到25岁才让知足常乐变成一种情绪上的常态。这中间需要很长的时间，很多的改变，痛苦让你成长。现如今我的情绪变得稳定而长久，回忆起之前的种种好像是发生在别人的身上，对于现在我来说是那么的陌生和遥远。对于有些人来说，获得这种安定的心境要花更长的时间，做更多的改变。但是如果经历了所有折磨还是无法改变什么，结果一点都不值得，关于这个我想都不敢想。
That's it. I just wanted to share my positive vibes with everybody. The world can be an amazing place if you let it, and you can be an amazing person. You probably already are. Good luck, and please never give up. I hope that today, you all feel a little bit of love. Thanks for reading.
我想用这种积极的情绪感染大家。只要你想世界就会变得美好，同样的你也可以成为更好的人。也许你已经足够好了。那么好运，要保持不要放弃。我希望我的分享能够让你感觉到一点小温柔。
I've been job hunting for about eight months.
在八个月的时间里，我一直在找工作。
A few weeks ago I went to an interview and handed off my car to the valet guy.
几周以前，我开车参加一个面试，把车子交给停车的侍者。
As I was waiting for the elevator I heard him tell his coworker that he would kill for a coffee, so after my interview I stopped at the cafe in the lobby and grabbed one for him.
在我等电梯的时候，我听见他对他的同事说自己超想来一杯咖啡，于是面试结束，我在门廊顺便买了一杯给他。
He was super grateful and asked for my business card.
他显得非常感动，还要了张我的名片。
I gave it to him, thinking maybe he wanted to send me a thank you email or something.
我给了他一张，想着他无非会写封感谢邮件或者做之类(表达谢意)的事情。
The next day I got a call from the manager at this big staffing agency in our city. She was the valet guy's cousin and he asked her to call me. I ended up meeting with her in person, and after only a week she found me my dream job. Today was my first day, and it went perfectly.
隔天我就接到了那个停车侍者表姐的电话，原来她就是我们当地最大职介结构经理，而且就是那个侍者叫她打给我的。职介经理亲自和我会面约谈，短短一周她就帮我找到了梦寐以求的工作。今天是我上班的第一天，进展非常顺利。
Be nice to everyone, all the time.
(我的心得是)要把体恤他人，常挂心间。
